And again: How do you know your intuition has developed sufficiently to be able to evaluate claims for a phenomenon that you haven't experienced? Remember the context: Paul was saying that the Vedic literature describes many phenonema that modern people tend to think don't exist and suggests that therefore there's no basis to buy into that literature. > > Intuition is one of those "Been there, done that, > got the T-shirt" kinda things.
